O Come All Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant!
Oh come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold him born the king of angels:

Oh come, let us adore him, Oh come, let us adore him,
Oh come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord!

Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of  heaven above!
Glory to God in the highest:

Bring Him all the glory, for He alone is worthy

Lord of Peace

Lord of Peace love away my sorrow
Sooth this pain with a blest tomorrow
See the manger; Peace it came here
Lord of Peace love away my blindness
Melt this ice thaw this heart of kindness
See the manger ; Peace it came here

At all times, in all ways
You make it possible to live in peace with you

Lord of peace, Lord of peace
Love away my sorrow with a blest tomorrow
Lord of peace, Lord of peace
Love away my blindness; thaw this heart of kindness

Your Name
Humbly to the earth You came
Born into this world to save
God with us, Emmanuel
Now we adore Your name

Your Name is a strong and mighty tower
Your Name is a shelter like no other
Your Name, let the nations sing it louder
'Cause nothing has the power to save, but Your Name

Jesus, in Your Name we pray
Come and fill our hearts today
Lord, give us strength to live for You
and glorify Your Name

Reading

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.
(Colossians 3:12-15 NIV)

Communion
Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” 
(Matthew 26:26-29 ESV)

Blessing
May the Lord bless us and keep us; 
May he make His face shine upon us, and be gracious to us, 
May he lift up His countenance upon us and give us peace. 
(Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV)

Rejoice (O Come Emmanuel)
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,
and ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel.
Shall come to Thee, O Israel

O Come, O Come, Thou Lord of might
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai’s height
In ancient times did give the law,
in cloud, and majesty, and awe

Rejoice! Rejoice!

O Come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe the way that leads on high,
and close the path to misery

Joyful (The One Who Saves)

Joyful joyful we adore You
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before You
Opening to the sun above

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of Eternal gladness
Fill us with the light of day

You are the One who saves
You are the One who saves
You are the One
Who’s hands lift us from the grave
You are the light of life
The everlasting day
You are the One
Who takes all our sins away

You are giving and forgiving
Ever blessing, ever blessed
Fountain of the joy of living
Ocean depths of happy rest

Jesus you are my rescue
Jesus you are my rescue
I give you everything I am

He Remembers
He remembers my first breath of air
He remembers because He was there
And still my Maker is with me everywhere
He remembers and He’s with me now

He remembers the first word I said
He remembers when I turned and fled
And still my Father never turned His head
He remembers and He’s with me now

He feels my pulse, and the pulse of everything
Every moment ever lived; each created thing
He knows my name, and the thoughts that cross my mind
He knows my heart, and the heart of all mankind

He remembers every tear I’ve sown
He remembers when I felt alone
And still my Savior has never left me on my own
He remembers and He’s with me now

What Can I Do
From the high and holy, to a manger lowly
The greatest mystery the world has ever known
How you left your majesty, to embrace humanity
It awes and humbles me to be loved by a God so high

What can I do but thank you
What can I do but give my life to you
Hallelujah, hallelujah
What can I do but praise you
Everyday make everything I do
A hallelujah, a hallelujah, a hallelujah

To the least and lowest, You became as one with us
In our grief and brokenness You suffered by our side
From a cradle to the cross, rising up victorious
The Messiah Jesus
Born to us on that holy night

Amazed

You dance over me
While I am unaware
(And) You sing all around
But I never hear the sound

Lord I'm amazed by You
Lord I'm amazed by You
Lord I'm amazed by You
How You love me

You paint the morning sky
With miracles in mind
My hope will always stand
(For) You hold me in Your hand

How wide
How deep
How great
Is Your love for me

Your glory for all to see

Wonderful Counselor, sent to us
Sent to heal, and to comfort us
You comfort us, Lord Jesus

You provide for us, You provide for us
You comfort us, You comfort us

Emmanuel
You are present when there's kindness
You are there in quiet times
You are present when there's sadness
You are there when love shines
We give you all our doubts and fears

Emmanuel! Emmanuel!
Emmanuel! You are God with us

You are present when there’s blindness
You are there to bring sight
You are present when there's darkness
You are there to bring light
We give you all our doubts and fears

We give you all our doubts and fears
We give you all our pain and tears
Because with you by our side we can overcome

He's Coming
Comfort, oh comfort. Speak softly and tenderly
Make it perfectly clear, that our savior is near

Make a road straight and smooth, a highway fit for a King
Calm the valleys and the hills. Raise your voice and sing

He's coming, He's coming to shepherd His love
In His arms He will hold us, with the blessing from above
He's coming, He's coming to shepherd His love
In His words He will guide us with the power from above

Clear the way for the Lord. Clear the way for the Lord
Prepare a place for His glory to shine

He's coming, He's coming, He's coming, He's coming
He's coming, He's coming, with the blessing from above
